Series qapi/vfio: Add VFIO migration QAPI event | expand

When migrating a VFIO device that supports pre-copy, it is transitioned
to STOP_COPY twice: once in vfio_vmstate_change() and second time in
vfio_save_complete_precopy().

The second transition is harmless, as it's a STOP_COPY->STOP_COPY no-op
transition. However, with the newly added VFIO migration QAPI event, the
STOP_COPY event is undesirably emitted twice.

Prevent this by returning early in vfio_migration_set_state() if
new_state is the same as current device state.

Note that the STOP_COPY transition in vfio_save_complete_precopy() is
essential for VFIO devices that don't support pre-copy, for migrating an
already stopped guest and for snapshots.

I wonder if we should improve the trace events a little to track better
the state transitions. May be move trace_vfio_migration_set_state()
at the beginning of vfio_migration_set_state() and introduce a new
event for the currently named routine set_state() ?

This can come with followups.

Thanks,

Yes, this sounds good.
